Core and builtins
-----------------
- The _codecs support module for codecs.py was turned into a builtin
module to assure that at least the builtin codecs are available
to the Python parser for source code decoding according to PEP 263.
- issubclass now supports a tuple as the second argument, just like
isinstance does. ``issubclass(X, (A, B))`` is equivalent to
``issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B)``.
